“...A ship has disappeared in the system. "Firefly", a private ship of an old but reliable model, plying between Pelageya and the eastern colonies. He was supposed to fly to Port Nova a week ago, but he never showed up. <…> There are 12 people on board. Four crew members and passengers. According to my estimates, they will have enough air reserves for another 8 days, 6 of which will be taken by the hyperjump to the system. Your task is to return the ship. If this turns out to be impossible, evacuate the survivors from it." The story was included in the short list of the SF competition "Future Tense" (2018).
